JJ Cooper of Baseball America on Hays, Sisco and how the O's may have 5 on the 100 list by mid season

[wildcard]

 JJ Cooper says:

Hays  - The highest ranked 3rd round from the 2016 draft.  " 3rd rounders do not fly through a minor system like he did very often"

Sisco -  if he can hit for average and be solid defensively, catchers like that have very, very  long careers.

Mountcastle - Man the guy can hit.....but a weak arm.

Harvey - If Hunter Harvey  has a good spring training, if he goes out and in April is showing  the kind of stuff he has shown at his best , I could easily see him being on the 100 list before too long.

DL Hall -  This is the guy that has the stuff, again, if we a talking about by the mid season of this year, he could be in this top 100.

Seems like our farm system is pretty solid now.   DD deserves credit for hiring the right people as scouts and in development.

Call me when we get an Acuna/Vlad Jr. talent.

These guys are good but they can easily bomb, too.

The guys you mentioned were  international signings and ownership doesn't allow team to sign thse guys.

It'd be cool if the FO was able to pick up on things like that.

We did.  Fat load of good it's gonna do us, too.  Played on some playoff teams but we couldn't lock him up and now most signs point to him walking.

Acuña signed for $100K. The Orioles have exceeded that amount several times on international free agents.

I'm calling

The way Cooper talks about Harvey and Hall they could have that kind of talent.

And the saying goes:  Great pitching bests great hitting.

I hope you listen to the interview.

I certainly believe in Harvey, if healthy.    I’m in “show me” mode with DJ Hall.    I hope he justifies Cooper’s high opinion of him.

Seems folks have a pretty varied set of opinions when it comes to Hall.

To add, Robles was only 225K.

I like Hall’s stuff, premium lefty for that draft slot. Control/command is my biggest concern for him. Delmarva is a hike for me (compared to Frederick and Bowie, plus Aberdeen is on the way to my in-laws)  but I’m going to make sure I get out to see him live.

I’m hoping Harvey will be at the level that Gausman was his first year after we drafted him. I think we see him Baltimore some. Especially if we’re competing.
